Content Strategy

Content Strategy

The volunteerism page is one of the pages we recreated that showcases the content strategy we developed for HYC. It is written in a friendly, empathetic, and inclusive manner, reflecting the approachable nature of the staff and volunteers at HYC. They exude the same warmth online as they do in person.

All our users mentioned that "Our Partners" does not fit the content and suggested that they should be categorized separately under "Spaces."

After

We decided to separate each amenity into its own category under "Spaces" so users will know exactly what they are looking for.

As HYC only offers counseling services, we decided to change "Services" to "Counselling" instead. This change is made to avoid misleading users by suggesting that HYC provides other services. Additionally, this makes "Counselling" an option that will be more accessible for the youth.
